With the Commonwealth Games underway here, the national capital continued to grapple with dengue outbreak with cases of the vector-borne disease today reaching 3,641 after 86 more patients tested positive.
The MCD said its workers have found mosquito breeding in 94,560 premises, issued legal notices to 76,255 people and prosecuted 14,729 of them.
With two more dengue deaths reported on Friday, the toll in the city has reached seven this season.
South Delhi continued to be the worst-affected with 487 cases, followed by Civil Lines (468), Rohini (419) and Central Zone (392).
The civic bodies are attributing the rapid increase in dengue cases this season to prolonged monsoon and stagnation of water at Commonwealth Games construction sites.
The dengue outbreak has also raised concern among several countries which are sending teams to participate in the Games to be held here from tomorrow.
India has issued a health advisory for participants and visitors coming for the event asking them to take precautions like carrying full-sleeve clothes and bringing mosquito repellent creams, oils, mats or coils.
The government has sought to play down concerns over dengue during the Games saying the prevalent variant of the mosquito-borne disease was not very dangerous.
Delhi has also reported 112 cases of malaria and 20 of chikangunya this season.
